Music can provide the soundtrack to any life event, no matter how major. One event that many share is the long drive to or from home in the middle of the night. In this episode, we count down what we feel are the best albums to accompany those long drives. We also feature two more bands you need to know: the Minneapolis hip hop project Hand Over Fist, and lamentably broken-up indie band Rider. You can read our picks after the break.

After a semi-lengthy hiatus, we’re back with our best, most pretentious episode ever! In this special double-length episode, we’re making up for lost time with two lists about one of our favorite topics – trip hop music. We count down the 5 best albums and the 5 best songs in a genre packed with greatness. We also offer up a list-based tribute to the King of Pop, and feature two more great bands you need to know – LA indie band El Ten Eleven, as well as Headlights, a local favorite from Champaign, Illinois. You can read our picks for both lists after the break.

After a semi-long, semi-mysterious hiatus, we’re back with a brand new, totally epic episode! It’s not available for download yet, but we’re giving you a heads up now so you can brace yourself. This is by far our most amusing and pretentious episode ever, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Expect it within 24 hours or so.
